Doc put me on Synthroid

You might like to read Stop the thyroid madness. Thyroid Madness Definition:


1.Treating hypothyroid patients solely with T4-only meds.
2.Dosing solely by the TSH and the total T4, or using the outdated "Thyroid Panel".
3.Prescribing anti-depressants in lieu of evaluating and treating the free T3.
4.Telling thyroid patients that desiccated natural thyroid like Armour is "unreliable", "inconsistent", "dangerous" or "outdated".
5.Making labwork more important than the hypo symptoms which scream their presence.
6.Failing to see the OBVIOUS symptoms of poorly treated thyroid, and instead, recommending a slew of other tests and diagnoses.

You should ask your doctor for Armour.
My husband has been on it for 60 years and once they switched him to a synthetic and it did not work. Our insurance does not pay for it but it is not an expensive drug. I put 1-2 drops of Lugol's 5% in his daily coffee.
Other people here probably will tell you what else you can do. This is just one example. BTW the doctor does not know that he takes iodine. Tweet
